You’re better off with 2 grip points contacting a shaft if you’re going to use mechanical broadheads. The quiver design may feature a single grip point for the shaft or multiple. These will usually hold arrows on the opposite side of the bow from the shelf or rest so that they are out of the way of any shooting.īow mounted quiver – Single point of contactīow quivers hold the arrow by grips for the arrow shaft a hood at the tip end which is normally filled with some sort of foam substance in which you can embed a sharp tip or broadhead. Bow Mounted QuiversĬompound and recurve bows normally come with screw holes and bushings to allow a quiver to be mounted on the side. If the type of back quiver you use doesn’t hold your arrows snugly you’ll also find that if you bend over they can fall out. Whilst it looks easy for Hawkeye and Katniss Everdeen the reality is that a hip quiver is far easier and quicker to access than a back quiver. The downsides to a back mounted quiver are that arrows aren’t as easy to select and get at. Arrows in a quiver on your back don’t get in the way and they normally don’t stick out from your body quite as much as hip mounted quivers. Back quivers can be useful when hunting or hiking and carrying arrows. That’s probably the fault of Hollywood as Lars explains in his video. If you are new to archery back quivers are probably the one’s your most familiar with. If the quiver you’ve purchased doesn’t come with tubes, you may be able to purchase dividers to fit inside your current quiver. Finally if you’re concentrating and in the shooting zone and carrying a lot of arrows, you’ll quickly be able tell how many are left by how noting how many tubes you’ve emptied. Your best arrows from your backups for example. Tubes can also serve the purpose of allowing you to separate your arrows into known groups. Forward facing gives you easier access to the arrows, but they can tend to snag on things more easily if you’re out and about hunting. You can normally set a hip quiver with arrows forward facing or backward facing, and either is fine. If you shoot by drawing a bow string with your right hand you’ll want the quiver on your right hip. It is your waist that does the job! How do you wear a hip quiver? Some may come supplied with a belt or a strap but either way, they need holding up with something.
Generally you’ll need a belt, or at the very least a belt loop to attach a hip quiver to. Some hunters who don’t like bow mounted quivers use them and both recreational and competitive target archers use them as your hip is a convenient place to keep arrows. Hip quivers are popular with all types of archer.
